Total Thoughts:
Tattva Bodha, Four Fold Qualifications (pages 11 - 15)
- Realization can neither be proved nor disproved - only a Realized Being can know another Realized Being so until we are Realized we should simply have faith
- Through relative freedom from sorrow we achieve Absolute freedom from sorrow - if we are more peaceful every day, the day will come when we are Complete and know no sorrow
- We should strive to make our introspection more tangible (i.e. in writing) for only then will we act accordingly - to think without following with action is the same as aspiring to appease one's hunger by simply looking at food
- Each and everyday we should set time aside to answer the universal and fundamental questions of living (i.e. What is Life? Who am I? etc.) - such reflection is a blessing available to humans alone on account of the faculty of the intellect
- If we were to die in the next day or next week what would we do during this time - death can happen at any moment
' In the dream one can experience one's own death. Physical death in the waking state is on par with it. The Spirit, is not one with the body but only its witness, is not affected by death. The Spirit is unoriginated and deathless. ' --- Shrimad Bhagavatam Part 12, Chapter 5, Verse 4
